    No Sights?

    I bought this ROA at a gun show in 1995. I heard that they were good guns but no other knowledge about them. If I am not mistaken, all the ROA’s that I seen for sale on this forum or Gunbroker had target sights. Was this model that I have undesirable? I kinda like the look of no sights giving...

    Cylinder locks up on half cock

    While shooting my Walker, I went to reload and the bolt would lock the cylinder when put on half cock. When the hammer was pulled back about one inch, the cylinder would move freely. But when the hammer reached the half cock position, the bolt would lock the cylinder. If I went to full cock...

    Arbor Problem?

    I have three Colt replicas, Uberti Walker, Uberti 1860 Army and a Pietta 1860 Army. The Walker is new to me but I have been shooting the 1860’s for years. None of these revolvers have hundreds of rounds through them yet. I have been reading about these short arbor issues and I have little...

    New Revolver To The Stable

    Today the UPS truck delivered my new Uberti Colt Walker. I think that I read every post and watched every UTube video concerning the Walker. I already own a Uberti Colt 1860 Army that I bought at Dixon’s gun shop about 15 years ago. I was not disappointed when I opened the box. The revolver...

    Swiss Powder vrs Goex

    I'm getting close to that time that I will be placing a 25 lb powder order. I always used Goex and I have no complaints with it's performance. Am I missing out on something really great by never trying Swiss Powder? Is there a real advantage to paying the extra money for Swiss? The shoots...

    IS This Heaven?

    This was at a shoot I went to this past summer. This sign reminded me of the movie "Field of Dreams"

    Uberti 1862 Police

    I got a great deal on a used and slightly abused 1862 police. I and putting together a order from VTI for worn internal parts and a botched up cyclinder. My question is, should I buy the Uberti nipples or is there a better choice out there. My other bp revolvers are: Pietta 1851, Uberti 1860...

    Here is my first time build ever, a Mike Lea blunderbuss kit in 4 bore. Ed Rayl barrel, Chambers Round-Face English lock, and a walnut stock with brass hardware. It is a good shooter for very close targets!

    Uberti Colt Pocket 1862

    I picked up a used and abused pocket Colt and it sorely needs some work. The good things are the bore is good, and the overall looks of the gun are very nice. Now the bad: Most screws heads look bad. The bolt/cylinder stop part is worn and cracked. When put on half cock, the cylinder won't...

    Rear Sight for Zuave

    I want to replace my rear sight on my Navy Arms Antonio Zoli Zuave. I want something adjustable for elevation and windage. I am willing to file, chisel, sand or solder to make it fit. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

    Green Walnuts

    My friend gave me a burlap bag full of green walnuts and I would like to render them down to make some dye. How do I go about this? Can this dye be stored for use later this winter? Thankyou

    What Ball Size?

    I have these two newly acquired colt replicas both in .44cal. I already have some .457's that I shoot in my ROA and some .451's that I got somewhere a long time ago. The Pietta's cylinder mics out to .440 and the Uberti's mics out to .440 also. Which ball size should I use?
